Journal entry, The Pyramid of Anu-Asir (Final)

by Barian Thornheart

(Session 7)
I can see daylight again, and it is not a moment too soon. After successfully solving the puzzle in the room mentioned last we found a secret chamber. Inside this secret chamber there lurked an explorer like us, but much malnourished. He offered to help us solve a separate puzzle and we were able to retrieve a very nice dagger from a foreboding obelisk. Continuing onward we asked the new member to show us around the area he'd already explored and were able to locate another, more secret room, through my own genius machinations. Also we raided a tomb that looked like it had naught but a simple burial mask.
 
Down the secret stairwell we found a hall that had murals that depicted the story of a fishmonster godbeast. I don't speak ancient bumpkin so I'm not sure what it was about, but we came to a golden doorway that looked as a giant fish. After solving the puzzle Sobek led the way into the room and it was just storage for more sarcophagi. However, there was another exit to the room. Following that exit we found a hallway that I expertly deduced the traps in. Shortly thereafter we discovered a pair of puzzles that the new member managed to solve. I'm going to need to keep an eye on this Mohamed individual. He seems like a sharp tool, but sometimes sharp tools can cut both ways.
 
Entering the Final burial chamber, we found many jars littering the place and a very large sarcophagus in the center. Sobek, the dumb beast saw something shiny and had to go and mess with it, causing the cursed monster in the room to wake. After a harrowing battle in which the dumb Dragonspawn perished (good riddance) the pyramid began to collapse. Hurrying out, we were able to escape before the edifice crushed us into the infinite sands of the desert. I'm now recovering from our escape, and wondering what to do with my fancy new dagger... Perhaps a gift to a new Patron is in order.
